It means the Pokemon was trained in certain stats.

Battling Pokemon gives you a certain amount of EV points. For example, battling a starly gives you 1 speed EV point for the Pokemon that battled it. Different Pokemon give different EV's. EV's work like the following:

every 4 EV's you get in one stat, that stat is raised by 1. The maximum EV's you can have in any one stat is 255 and the total number of EV's your Pokemon can have is 510. So essentially, only two stats can be fully maxed. You could also divide up the EV's evenly into the stats, but that's not the best thing to do. EV-training is tedious, and without the right items, it takes forever.

Go to serebii.net for all the info about EV's.

Why are do IV calculators say my Mighteyena's stats are impossible?

That also happened to me. But the reason why is because either you accidentally entered the stats wrong or you accidentally EV trained your Pokemon when you were battling with it. When you're simply raising Pokemon, they could get EV's by accident. Since EV's are invisible, you can't determine why this happened. And the IV Calculators require you to enter in EV's so it can calculate the average IV's. For help on EV's, try this searching this on google: "What are EV's?"
